Fully remote in the USA, working EST hoursHi there!We’re Search Atlas, and we’re on a mission to redefine the future of marketing. We are a $30M+ ARR company with a passionate team of 215 people building the world’s first agentic marketing platform.We are looking for a Lifecycle Marketer to own the end-to-end customer journey — from the moment someone signs up for a trial to the moment they become a long-term, expanding customer. You will build and optimize the email, in-app, and multi-channel programs that turn new users into active customers and active customers into advocates.This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role. You will own onboarding flows, nurture sequences, re-engagement campaigns, expansion and upsell programs, and churn prevention. You will work closely with Product, Growth, Sales, and Customer Success to build data-driven lifecycle programs that directly impact retention, expansion revenue, and customer satisfaction.<h3>What your routine looks like</h3>Onboarding & Activation<ul><li>Own the onboarding email and in-app messaging sequences for new trial users and new customers.</li><li>Map activation milestones for each product line and build programs that guide users toward them.</li><li>Segment onboarding flows by user type — SEO practitioners, content marketers, agency owners, small business operators — so each audience gets relevant guidance.</li><li>Continuously test and optimize onboarding sequences based on activation data, drop-off points, and user feedback.</li><li>Partner with Product and Growth to identify friction points in the early user experience and address them through messaging, education, or in-app nudges.</li></ul>Nurture & Engagement<ul><li>Build and manage ongoing email nurture programs that keep users engaged with the platform and aware of features they have not yet adopted.</li><li>Create educational content sequences that help users get more value from Search Atlas — tips, use cases, best practices, and feature highlights.</li><li>Develop re-engagement campaigns for users showing declining activity, with targeted messaging based on their usage patterns and product line.</li><li>Own the email calendar and ensure lifecycle touches are coordinated with brand campaigns, product launches, and community events.</li></ul>Expansion & Upsell<ul><li>Build programs that drive cross-product adoption — guiding SEO users into content tools, content users into site management, and so on.</li><li>Create upsell and upgrade campaigns for users approaching plan limits or showing signals of readiness for higher-tier features.</li><li>Partner with Sales and Customer Success to identify expansion opportunities and support them with automated and semi-automated messaging.</li><li>Track and report on expansion revenue influenced by lifecycle programs.</li></ul>Retention & Churn Prevention<ul><li>Build early-warning systems that identify at-risk accounts based on engagement signals, usage patterns, and support interactions.</li><li>Create targeted retention campaigns for at-risk users — re-onboarding sequences, value reinforcement, win-back offers.</li><li>Develop a systematic approach to post-churn win-back campaigns.</li><li>Analyze churn patterns and feed insights back to Product, Growth, and Customer Success.</li></ul>Lifecycle Infrastructure & Reporting<ul><li>Own the lifecycle marketing tech stack — email platform, automation tools, segmentation, and personalization.</li><li>Build and maintain lifecycle dashboards that track key metrics: activation rates, time-to-value, email engagement, retention curves, expansion revenue, and churn rates.</li><li>Establish a testing cadence for lifecycle programs — subject lines, send times, content, segmentation, and channel mix.</li><li>Document lifecycle playbooks so programs can scale as the company grows.</li></ul><h3>What we are looking for</h3><ul><li>4–7 years of lifecycle marketing, email marketing, or CRM marketing experience at a B2B SaaS company.</li><li>Hands-on experience with marketing automation platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Marketo, Iterable, <a target="_blank" href="http://Customer.io">Customer.io</a>, Braze, or similar).
